On the way back to Beijing from LA, I watched a movie on the plane that made me happy: "Book Club", no dazzling special effects, no bizarre plot, just the protagonist in the play: four 65 + Women, their stories of seeking sex are enough to make me call crazy. In our conventional cognition, talking about love is the patent of young people, and it seems that old people no longer have the qualifications to fall in love. Hollywood breaks the convention and focuses on the emotional life of the elderly. This sensitivity to capture real life is worth learning from. In fact, love is not about age. Middle-aged and elderly women are also independent individuals. They also have their own ideas and love. Their lives are not monotonous as mothers or wives. Moreover, the four female protagonists in the play are all Oscar winners, and the cast lineup is luxurious: Jane Fonda (Jane Fonda), plays the role of a rich and unmarried unmarried person, Vivienne; Diane Keaton, played as a romantic old girl, Diane; Mary Steenburgen, played as a gentle and well-behaved housewife, Carlo; Candice Bergen (Candice Bergen) ) Acting as a powerful and independent federal judge, Sharon; The four of them are best friends for more than 40 years. They have a good habit of organizing a reading club every month, communicating with each other and growing together, and taking turns doing reading clubs. host. This reading club was hosted by the unruly behavioral Vivian. She brought her hot little H book, "Fifty Shades of Ash" to her girlfriends; the old girlfriends subconsciously resisted, saying that we are all over 60. Is a year-old person still qualified to talk about love? Vivienne's answer is quite domineering: Please, sisters, we refuse to be dry and boring people who give up treatment. Therefore, the whole plot revolves around how a group of old women was re-enlightened in love by fifty shades of gray. For the specific plot, I don’t make spoilers, I just want to say that the actual 72-year-old Diane Keaton in the film (Diane Keaton) Keaton), acting as an old woman in love, is also full of girlishness. That state and feeling is particularly enviable. In fact, people in their sixties will also be confused, still have expectations and wait for life, and will also seek to change and break through themselves, just as the line in the film said: Thinking is the only limit of our lives! Therefore, even if you are 60+ years old, even if there is social pressure, child pressure, and self-pressure, people should not give up the pursuit of love. If we want to give a definition of love, it is that we can achieve a complete self through love. On my way to the bathroom on the plane, an old lady who happened to be watching this movie also happened to have a happy smile on her face. I think it was inspired by the characters in the play. Who has stipulated that one cannot pursue inner happiness when he is old? This is a comedy, and the ending is definitely happy ending, but I still want to say something horrible. If you want to be like the characters in the play, you have to have a life style when you are old. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you still have to maintain your appearance and charm. And there must be an economic foundation.
